Rock and Roll Dance Party: Las Vegas Style

Come and party Las Vegas style as we rock out and dance to some favorites by:

Pink Floyd
The Doors

Steppenwolf
Cream

Bad Company

Led Zeppelin

...and many more

If you like to dance, you'll have a great time as Jason will lead the class through a very simple, but Rockin' dance workout experience. The work is pure Nia, but you don't need to know that to enjoy it. You don't need to know that you'll be doing moves inspired by Tai Chi, Yoga, Tae Kwon Do, Modern Dance, Alexander Technique, and many more movement modalities. In fact, as Jason says, "You don't need to have any type of movement experience at all and you can walk in and be instantly great in my class. Come and play in my Mega Rockin Nia experience."

If you like to move around and you love your body and want to treat it right, and if you love good old rock and roll, then you should definitely make it a point not to miss this one-of-a-kind Las Vegas event.

MEGA ROCKIN NIA:
A Master Class with JAG (& River)

On June 29
@ Yoga For the Soul
6:00pm - 7:30 pm
stay for free tea served afterwards

pre-register here for $17
or pay $20 at the door

Yoga for the Soul is located at 4450 N Tenaya Way, studio #245.(if
you're using GPS, you might have better luck searching for the
McDonalds on Craig Road and just know that Yoga for the Soul is right
behind that--for some reason, many GPS systems don't register our
address)

Jason
and his faithful dog, River, are going to be passing through Nevada on
June 29. With the help of Wendy Jaroslawski and Stacey Hall, we're going to stop in Las Vegas to
do a rockin' Nia class and we'd love for lots of happy, playful,
dancing, sweating bodies to come out to join us.

There is no special
experience required to attend a master class, or a Nia class in general.
The term Master Class only means that it is taught by a master so you
can expect to get above and beyond what you might typically get in a
classic class. In this case, I plan to spend a few minutes going over
some basics of human movement and Nia moves. Then we'll do a fun, exciting, playful class that is appropriate for any body and all fitness levels.

It promises to be an unforgettable and unique experience. I hope you join us.

This
Classic Rock Nia routine focuses on the low, middle and high planes
with the intention of gettin' down, chillin' out and gettin' high.

ROCKIN was created by Jason Alan Griffin.
It was
originally inspired by Helen Terry's routine to the Pink Floyd
- Dark Side of the Moon, and by Bill Stewart setting a classic Nia
routine
to Rock n Roll music. I experienced them both in the same weekend at
Soma Ranch and it took me to places I
hadn’t yet gone in my Nia practice. I came back from that weekend newly
inspired and I immediately went to work on what eventually became
ROCKIN. I wasn't able to recreate Bill or Helen's choreography, but I
made it my own, so we will rock out to Pink Floyd, The Doors,
Steppenwolf, Led Zeppelin and more rock favorites from the 60s and 70s.

Black Belt Jason Alan Griffin has loved teaching Nia since 1996.
After teaching Nia and enjoying an acting and modeling career in New
York City for more than a decade, he has recently relocated to Seattle
and got a dog and a Mini Cooper and is now traveling around the country
spreading the Nia love.
